The last time I hit up In-n-Out was in Vegas this past April and my homeboy’s ordered their burgers “Animal Style”. I was amazed, their ish was glistening with grease, and filled with grilled onions. For those of you that haven’t hit up an In-n-Out yet, “Animal Style” isn’t even on the menu…it’s on the [...]

  Week 1 is complete and I’m already seeing an improvement of my max consecutive reps. My first max count was 18 consecutive pushups, one week after the start of the program and I’m at 28 max consecutive reps.

Lots n’ lots of stuff has happened in the past month and needs to be put into the blog (plus various threats from some readers that the site just plain sucks).
